James Wilson was a man of extraor
dinarily positive opinions. Further
more, he was very outspoken In them.
His paper was a very vigorous publi
cation indeed, diseussle-sr the ouestlons Events of
of the day and they und pretty big
questions In the llrst half of the nine
teenth century with fearless convic
tion and bluntness. The editor was a
Justice of the peace and was ordinarily
addressed as "Judge" Wilson. He
was for a term a member of the Ohio
state legislature. During bis absence
at Columbus his wife, wltb the a'd of
the sons, edited the paper and boarded
the bauds.
Judge Wilson died In Pittsburgh dur
ing a cholera epidemic In 18.TT. He. bad
teu children, seven boys and three girls.
The dnughters married well, and the
sons all attained considerable distinc
tion. Judge Wilson's youngest son was Jo
seph Ituggles. through whom runs the
special current of this story.
Joseph was born at Btenbenvllle on
Feb 2S. 1822. He got bis Orst school
ing in his lather's shop. Like all the
other sons, he learned the printer's
trade. Not one of them but could to
the day of his death "stick type" with
any Journeyman.
Joseph from the start was marked
for the scholar of the family. There
was a good academv at Steubenville.
and he intended it. At eighteen be
went to .leflersoii college, a Presbyte
rian institution at Canonsburg, Pa..
where lie was graduated in 1S44 as
valedictorian. He engaged in teaching
for a year, taklug chatge of an acad
emy at Mercer, t'a. Hut he call was
clear to a higher life work. Before he
had left botne for college he had mnile-
u public profession of his faith In the
I- irst Presbyterian church of his na
tive towu. Now he took his way to
the Western Theological seminary at
Allegheny. Pa . remained a year and
then went to spend another year at
Princeton seminary. He went home
and was licensed to preach, although
not vet ordained. He taught for two
years In the Steubenvlfle male acad

Why Fear Downward Revision?

the slightest tariff revision down
ward would hurt our business, and
lessen out exports.
"Tlie slightest revision downward
will throw men out of work," Is the
cry of the multimillionaire tariff
trust heads who have been getting
a ever-increasing amount of pro
tection all these yeni- Sfeitc at the
same time importing foreigners to
take tlie places of Mnerican workers
and paying their workers little, more
than a pittance.
Is there anything in the argument
of the rich hjgh protectionists. If
thiy are right in their contention
that seine tariff revision would less-
tn our exporta, one would naturally
think that Cineat liritafn. wit li free
trade, would have perished Ion; ago.
But Great Hritaln is n :t pi Uing.
